Such violations of international law were contrary to the purpose of diplomatic and consular relations, which was to foster understanding, cooperation, peace and stability among countries. Instead, they were creating a climate of instability and insecurity, which disrupted the activities of the diplomatic and consular personnel and made the missions incapable of functioning, when they did not have more tragic consequences.
